What was the outcome of the Congressional requests for investigation of IRI programming?
Two full-scale investigations by the USAID Inspector General’s office were undertaken, the first one in April-May 2004. The second investigation occurred in March-May 2006. Neither of these investigations generated evidence that IRI programming was responsible for the collapse of the Aristide government in 2004. Likewise, both reports found no evidence to support Ambassador Curran’s specific claims that IRI had interfered with his mission in Haiti.
